BIcLanrin Bad Intended to Tots Nay Until
AguiualUo Attacked Otis No Declara
tory Resolution Adopted Names of the
Opponents of the Treaty Record Made
Up and In the Prealdent'a Hands in Forty
Minutes After the Vote in the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 7. The treaty of
peace negotiated between the commis
sioners of the United States and Spain
at Paris was ratified yesterday by the
United States senate, the vote being 57
ayes to 27 rays, or one vote more than
the two-thirds majority necessary to.
secure senatorial concurrence In . a'
treaty document. The vote was taken
in executive session, and until the in
junction of secrecy was romoved the
lution by inserting the words "or to
force a government upon them against
their will." Tabled 46 to 30.
Bacon of Georgia then offered a por
tion of his resolution as an addition to
the McEnery resolution. "People of the
kind in the P.'ippincs." declared Gray,
"have no right to demand any more ex
plicit promise than is contained in the
McEnery resolution. I am not in favor
of goins with additional premises to a
people who are shooting down our sol
diers who lifted them from the thrall
om of Spain and carried to tWm mes
sages of freedom. I do not propose to
surrender to those whose guns are
pointed at General Otis and who have
killed our men on land and ship. Let
us wait yet a little while until we know
what may develop."
Spoor.er sp;ke in oppos tion to making
promises to people who have their guns
pointed at our troops. "From Informa
tion which I have now and I say this
on my own responsibility I believe, he
said, "it was a premeditated, precon
certed and wanton attack made with
the Idea of affecting the action of the
senate upon the peace treaty." 4

result was supposed to be nrivate. But
the vlre president had r.o more than an
nnunced the figures before senators
rushed out of every door leading from
the penat? chamber, declaring that the
treaty had been ratified. Some, made
the mistake of stating that there were
three votes to spare. There was In fact
only or.e vote more than was necessary
the balloting resulting 57 ayes to
says.
I'ncertainty to the Last Moment.
No vote has been taken in the senate
nce that on the repeal of the purchas
lr.g clause of the Sherman law that has
teen followed with as close interest as
was the vote of yesterday. This anx
iety was due not only to the magnitude
to the question at issue, tiut to the un
certainty whif h cttended the matter up
to the last moment. Only the
elect few knew how McEnery
of Louisiana and Jonos of Xc-
vada would vote half 3n hour before
their votes were cast, and not even these
knew when the bells rang for the execu
tive session at a quarter past 2 o'clock.
Mar.y of the throng which was turned
from the galleries after the doors were
closed lingered in the corridors, all
waiting eagerly for the first news from
Inside. It was generally understood that
the first fortv-five minutes was to be
given to speech making, but the crowd
ppparently was prepared for this delay.
Intercut Intense in the Chamber. '
Within the chamber the interest was
even more intense. In advance of the
voting speeches were made by Ross,
Money and Fairbanks. Stewart, who
had Just arrived from his successful
campaign in Nevada for re-election. an
nounced informally during this period
of the session that in hi entire trip
across the continent he had not encoun
tered one man who was opposed to the
atincation of te treaty. Fairbanks
spoke at some length, his speech being
he first he had made since the debate
egan. He made an appeal for unan-
mity of action in order that the coun-
ry might present a harmonious front
o the outside world in dealing with so
mportant a question.
Hour for the Vote Arrives.
Promptly at 3 p. m. the vice president
interrupted Senator Money, who was
then speaking, to announce that the
hour had iirrived for a vote. But one
amendment was offered that placing
t!:e Philippines on the same footing as
Cuba In the treaty. Tho voting on this
amendment proceeded quietly and as al!
th- senators were present it was soon
disposed of defeated. Tho main ques
tion was then put. The only vote that
taused a stir was that of McLaurin, for
the treaty. He said he had been op
posed to the treaty, but the fight at Ma
nila had in his opinion made it neces
sary to support the treaty. Opposition
senators protested against this view,
but McLaurin was firm in fact he rati
fied the treaty.
Men TlTlio Voted No.
Following is the nay vote on the
ireaty.: Bacon. Bate. Brrry, Caffery,
Chilton. Cockreil. Daniel. Gorman,
Hale, Heitfeld, Hoar. Jones tArk.). Mal

On the motion of Davis it was then
ordered that the aye and nay vote be
mace public, and soon afterwards the
doors were opened ar.d the senate pro
ceeded with legislative business.
DECLINED TO DECLARE A POLICT.
ne and His Cabinet Much Pleased at the
Important Action.
News of the ratification of the treaty
reached the White House almost imme
diately aft?r the announcement of thi
vote. Postmaster General Err.ory Smith
was with the president at the time and
was the first to congratulate him.
Naturally the president wa9 gratified
at the vote and so expressed himself.
Secretary Gagecame in soon afterwards
and was followed almost immediately
by Secretary Alger and Secretary Hay.
Within forty minutes after its ratifica
tion General Cox, the secretary of the
senate, appeared with the treaty itself,
which he promptly delivered into the
president's hands and then retired.
The cabinet members as they left the
White House were jubilant over the
ratification of the treaty, and spoke of
it as a great triumph. Secretary Hay
expressed bis gratification that the
treaty was ratified, and said he only
regretted that it had been found nects
fary to occupy so much valuable time
in doing it. He said that the treaty
would now re submitted to the Spanish
cortes at the session which op?ns this
month, and he anticipated no obstruc
tion in that direction to the final ex
changes. Secretary Long said: "I am glad the
treaty is ratified glad from the stand
point of the anti-imperia'.ist as well as
from any other. The yery height of Im
perialism is to have these islands now
under the control of one man exercisins
absolute military authority. The ratifi
cation of the treaty transfers the dis
position of these Islands to the Ameri
can people, who through their repre
sentatives can give them self-government
or make any other disposition of
them that our own principles of gov
ernment and ideas of national welfare
require."
Secretary Alger thought that the con
firmation of the victory at Manila to
gether with the ratification of tti peaca
treaty was sufficient to make the day
memorable. .Hq .spoke of the perils of
the position which the-American trcops
have been occupying for so many
months, while the fate of the treaty
was at issiue. and said he was only too
pleased now that these troops were fres
to protect themselves.
Proceedings in the House.
Washington. Feb. 7. Yesterday was
suspension day in the house. The cen
sus bill went through by a vote of 147
o 42. Other bills passed were: A bill to
extend the anti-contract labor laws
over the Hawaiian islands; to refer forty-four
war claims for stores and sup
plies to the court of claims: to create a
national military rark on the site of the
battle of Vicksburg. Grow offered a res
olution for a constitutional amendment
providing that peace treaties shall be
ratified by a majority of the senate;

Tbe Stacre'in Sbakmprnrs's Time.
John (Jburton Collius, the distin
guished essayist and (Quarterly Review
er, has been lecturing on the theater of
Shakespearb's time. Tbe typical theater
then was of wood, circular or hoxago-
nal in form, being modeled externally on
the general structure of the old amphi
theaters for bull and bear baiting. The
iutcfior was fashioned after the manner
of an inn yard. Tbe pit was scorched
by tho suu, while the actors were pro
tected by n thatched penthouse. The

On tbe stage and in other patts were
